DAYTON, Tenn.. July 7. With
the uncertainty removed yesterday
as to whether Dayton was to be
the scene of the trial climaxing the
evolution controverHy, Dayton look-
ied forward (o the
arrival today of
William Jennings
Hryan, who is one
of the prosecu
tion counsel in
I he Scopes trial
to be held here
Friday.
Mr. Bryan will
be met by other
members of the
prosecution who
will attempt to
prove John T.

state law prohibiting the teach
in of the theories of evolution.
Counsel engaged for the defense
of Scopes yesterday In Cookeville
were denied their petition for a fed
eral restraining order to halt prose
cution proceedings scheduled for
Dayton.
Federal Judge J. C. Gore held It
his opinion that it was not within
his jurisdiction to Interfere with a
case In a stnte court and expressed
doubt that If It were In his power
he would grant the petition on the
strength of the allegations set
forth. The constitutionality of the
Tennessee statute which Scopes is
alleged to have violated, was not
touched on by the Judge.
Dr. John It. Neal. chief defense
counsel and John Thomas Scopes
arrived early in the dity from
Cookeville. No word came from
them as to any possible strategic
move by the defense. Both appear
ed worn from their long drive over
mountain roads and Utile was seen
of them on the streets.
From Chicago word came that
Clarence Darrow would arrive in
Dayton tomorrow. While attorneys
for, the prosecution declined to dis
cuss whom they would place on the
witness stand to rebut the testi
mony of the expert witnesses of
the defense, reports gained cre
dence that this move would be
made Instead of a simple argument
(Continued on pace 3.)
A. Simian, well-known man
about jungle, is much in the
public eye and thought during
the Scopes anti-evolution trial,
in Dayton. Tenn. Mr. Scope
taught that the Simian family
is related to the well known
Human Race, a sort of cousin,
in fact; and became entangled
in Tennessee's unti-vnlntinn
I law, which casts the Simians in
to the outer darkness of the so
cial pretenders.

Intelligence reaching French

the French seemed wavering.

said to have been so discouraged
by their heavy losses that they'
made little or no effort to reactt
to the French counter attacks. I
The appointment of General !
Stanislaus Naulin as commander :

Pos-semen were still on guard at
the scene of the shooting today.
Two of the sup ec ted rum run
ners were raptured and brought
here, but only one name was
Riven out. that of John May.
Tire light hist night came with
such dramatic suddenness that
officials here pieced fragmentary
reports from the scene of action
to obtain a connected story.
Harry Livingston, a state traffic
officer drove a shot-shattered au
tomobile into Wat son vt lie near
here, before midnight with an ap
peal for help. The appeal was
relayed here and Sheriff Oyer or
ganized a posse and moved to the

The city council's plan for secur
ing competition on paving Jobs
nearly went by the board last
night, when it was found that the
bills on each street must be con-!
sldered independently Instead of as i
a whole, a condition which caused
two of the contractors to withdraw
their bids.
The council has been planning
for some time to secure some
means of obtaining competition on i
paving work. Heretofore there has 1
been only one bidder, and it was '
thought best to secure competition 1
If possible. In order to do this the j
council decided to get alt Btreets,
which it was proposed to pave, j
ready for bid at the same time,
which would give a sufficient ;
amount of work to attract other
contractors.
Consequently five streets were
advertised and bids opened last
night. Four separate sets of bids
were submitted, but before the bids
were opened, two contractors with
drew. They were willing to allow
their bids to go In as a whole, but
unless they received all of the
Jobs could not afford to move In 1
with their equipment for one p!ce
of work. The only bids submitted ,
were by C. K. Mercer of Eugene j
and L. W. Metzger of Roseburg, '
the latter being low on each Job.;
and receiving the contract on each
street. The bids submitted were
as follows: j

Mr. Metzger's bids were In' each,

gineer's estimate, in nearly each
case b'ing below the estimate.
The unit cost of the bids pre-j
